Vatican Denounces
'Murderous' Rumor
VATICAN CITY, Feb. 15 (UP)—The official Vatican organ, Osservatore Romano, denounced as "false" and "murderous" reports which seek to represent Pope Pius as anti-democratic or favorable to the establishment of a "new order" in Europe.
The Vatican organ did not disclose the source of the false reports against which its attack was directed. (Osservatore Romano's comment appeared to be carefully worded. The rumor which drew its fire was a report which tended to indicate papal sympathy for the Axis cause.)
